The 48th Novegro Swap Meet started in the mud but saw also two nice sunny days and tons of visitors. After attending the past three or four editions I must admit that I always see pretty much the same things, same bikes, same parts, same exhibitors. Unfortunately I did not have much time to spend and take pics. Hope next time will be better.

From Friday 19th to Sunday 21st of February there will be a Swap Meet at the Fair Area of Novegro (Milan, Italy). I'll probably go there on Friday or Saturday and post pics of it right after. Hope to find some good old parts.

Two years ago I went to visit Jeff Decker in his new house in Springville. He just moved in one of the oldest houses in town so the restoration was not complete yet. Jeff was on his way back from Sturgis but his wife Kelly had been great showing us around. Today and in the next days I'll post some nevere before seen pics of Jeff's house and private collection.

The artist at work. Famous painter David Uhl has pictured Jeff Decker while working at one of his famous sculptures. The painting is hanging over a fireplace in a nice and warm living room that smells of old wood and motor oil.

At the two sides you can admire two of the best racers that created the history of the American motorcycle heritage and tradition. A Cyclone maybe from 1914 and an Excelsior of the same period. Both should be 1000cc of displacement which is a lot for that time.

Every room is full of vehicles and objects that talk about history. It's better than going into a museum. Jeff's house is a sacred place where you silently admire unique things that you'll never see anywhere else. Jeff is a passionate collector and an icredibly talented artist. Too bad we couldn't stay longer. But the Deckers invited me to go back to visit again whenever I can. In the mean time I take the occasion to thank Jeff and Kelly for their time and kindness.
